saving a parameter

[russ801]

I am returing a parameter to a function during a mouse over. the function works fine but I want to save the parameter value as a variable.

How do I do it?

Can you post the function you are using? It would help to see it.

I think what you want is a global variable, right? If so, then you must declare it outside of the function. Like this:

var saveme;
function mouse_over(TheVar){
saveme=TheVar;
}

I think that will do what you wanted.

I'm assuming you're doing it something like this...

function mover(var)
{
//code
}

------

onmouseover="mover('somevalue');

Is that correct?

if so, in your function just go...

function mover(var)
{
somenewvar = var;
//code
}

This will throw the value of var into the somenewvar variable.

that was the fiirst thing I tried, but I am getting a little too fancy for my own good. Tried following on the debugger instead of placing a simple alert() to track it. And then didn't set the break point right.

Thansk for the help
